意大利的背景和文化历史

鉴于月亮通过文化沉浸式的文化理解哲学，从概述一个国家的历史开始是有意义的史前，以及通过希腊，伊特鲁里亚人和罗马时代（不包括许多其他外国入侵者的影响）。意大利文艺复兴时期的黑暗时代和丰富而光荣的时期被很好地覆盖了。莫雷蒂（Moretti）讨论了意大利意大利后意大利共和国的演变，并通过此后的100多个政府，同时在其简短的文化历史上强调政治。历史背景补充了一个侧边栏，该侧边栏表示意大利重大事件的日期，该日期提供了急需的快速参考。

意大利的人和文化

Moretti moves on to discuss the varied culture and subcultures of contemporary Italy, including ethnicity and class, gender roles, the central role played by religion, as well as the importance the arts play in the daily lives of Italians—a source of much of the aesthetic appeal and charm of the country and its people.

A Fact-Finding Trip to Italy

在搬到意大利之前，约翰·莫雷蒂（John Moretti）建议为了亲身体验该国各个地区的感觉，进行事实发现的事实。他写道，通过对居住在意大利生活中涉及的许多实际考虑因素有广泛的了解，这将做出一个决定，以推动更加明智的知识。

Daily Life in Italy

莫雷蒂（Moretti）讨论了日常生活的许多方面，从与孩子和/或宠物一起移动的后勤工作开始，签证要求以及您应该带走的东西。如果您要长期搬到意大利，则需要考虑如何庇护自己，因此莫雷蒂（Moretti）分解了租金，购买和提供您可以期望的住房费用的概述。莫雷蒂（Moretti）进入了详细购买房屋的过程中涉及的官僚机构，包括在贵族土地权利保留了很大残留影响的社会中，恢复旧农舍的涉及的是什么。

In order to live in Italy, it is extremely helpful to learn the national language (which does not include the many regional dialects) and Italy is absolutely full of independent language schools to suit almost any taste, Moretti writes. He recommends learning some basic elements of the language before coming to Italy in order to get a head start. Having some knowledge of the language is desirable in order to attend an Italian educational institution at any level. Moretti describes the educational system prevalent in Italy should you wish to study or send your children to public Italian schools, which tend to be a bit more advanced than the corresponding levels, particularly in math, than in the U.S.

医疗保健在意大利非常好，因此，尽管最初莫雷蒂建议在最初六个月左右购买旅行健康保险，但建议在找到全职工作时付款到国家系统。药剂师在意大利很有帮助，经常提供非处方药，这需要在美国开处方

在意大利就业

One of the most difficult aspects of life in Italy—assuming you have not been sent by an employer from your home country—is finding work of any kind in Italy. Italy is subject to the same EU restrictions to which all members must comply, and finding above-board work is not easy (though Italy, as Moretti points out, is notorious for its "black-market" jobs). But if you do manage to find work as a non-EU citizen after going through bureaucratic hoops, the long vacations and other perks are enviable. Moretti writes that many non-EU members are now opting for self-employment and freelancing “ranging from Web design to farming.” However, Moretti writes, the majority of working people you will find in Italy are working for employers, and your knowledge of English is a great door-opener. You may find yourself beginning your working life teaching English while developing contacts for what may be higher-paying or what you may consider to be more interesting jobs. Moretti offers tips on writing a resume when you are applying for any position with another company and the paperwork details involved in creating and running your own business in Italy.

最后，要完善有关意大利生活实际方面的部分，莫雷蒂继续描述与金融的交往，通讯（包括避免意大利电视和阅读报纸的告诫），以及意大利运输的许多选择 - 包括初学的道路规则。开车时，道路规则通常是意大利人偏爱的著名手信号的推论，这为每日对话增加了说明性的耀斑。如果您想安全地穿过美丽的乡村的狭窄道路，那么在意大利了解它们至关重要autostrada（高速公路），以及紧密的古老道路或混乱皮亚兹在古代城市中心的核心。

Prime Living Locations

As Moretti notes, “choosing the right place to live in Italy is like surveying a desert cart. Everything looks too good to pass up.” Each of the many beautiful and diverse regions has so much to offer that one must combine the aesthetic feel with the practical considerations of where you can find work. Moretti breaks Italy down into the following cities/regions: Rome, Milan and the Lakes, The Northeast, The Northwest, The Central Regions, and the South. Moretti offers his own impressions while going into detail about the attributes of each region, and his descriptions should help you narrow down your options, even if you will likely wish to visit each of them at some point once you have settled down as they are all relatively accessible via the network of roads both small and ancient and wide and modern.

The compact book concludes with many useful resources and addresses which offer more details complementing all the subject matter covered.

总而言之，居住在意大利的国外是一本简单的阅读，如果您想长期前往意大利，则提供了您需要知道的一切。莫雷蒂（Moretti）让您享受国家和人民的味道，并希望您亲自体验意大利的生活 - 托迪！
